How to search indoor maps using iPhone and iOS 11

Find your way around airports and shopping centers with Maps and iOS 11.

Airports and shopping centers can be massive, sprawling places with multiple floors and plenty of opportunities to get lost. With the Maps app you can find your way around using the indoor maps feature, which displays the locations of stores, toilets, transit stops, security desks and more.

Most international airports and major shopping centers are already mapped for you to explore. Simply look out for a “look inside” badge that appears beneath the name of the center, then zoom in to get a better look.

If there’s something specific that you want to find, simply tap the search bar at the bottom of the screen to look for food stalls, stores, services and transportation links. If you’re in landscape mode (like the screenshot above), use the sidebar on the left to search for locations.

If there are multiple floors to the building, you can navigate through them by tapping the number button on the right-side of the screen, just beneath the info and location buttons.
